Jeff and I attended a cooking class at The Pantry at Delancey two Mondays ago to learn how to make Asian pork buns. Since Jeff is the cook in our relationship, I was really nervous about going. I don't have a lot of kitchen skills and was afraid I'd need to perform some task that I wasn't capable of performing. Lucky for me, it wasn't like that at all.

We did a hop on hop off bus tour and ate at all kinds of great restaurants like In N Out Burger, Umami Burger, and the Queen Mary.

I don't recall ever wanting/owning a pair of boots in the past, but I bought two pairs now thanks to Zappos(the best shoe store for wide feet people like me)!
Read MoreI've crocheted several amigurumi from patterns for friends so I thought making an African Grey parrot for a friend would be no big deal. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of free parrot patterns available on Ravelry and most were too cartoony for my liking. I decided to make my own pattern after studying a few other bird patterns thinking it would be a piece of cake. Wrong.
